IT is the opinion of some that
the ultimate intention for contest
ing the election of the sheriff Of
Goingsnake district is to seat, as
senator, the National contestant as
well as Mr.. Wolf, and that by
throwing out Prairie Grove pre-
cinct it can be easily done. The
intention may be to reach further,
and putting this and that together,
success may be anticipated. But
the evidence in one case cannot be
made evidence in another, unless
submitted as such before the evil
dence on both sides is closed.
And as no other testimony can be
considered in the determination of
a contested election, except that
which has been submitted, the
courts decree, declaring void the
election at Prairie Grove precinct,
cannot be legally applied to cases
in which it is no part Of the evil
dcnce.

THE democratic county conven-
ton at Independence, Kansas,
"chawed up" and digested the
Indian question after the follow
ing manner: "We believe that
sound policy and proper regard
for the rights and interests of all
parties concerned demands that
the Indian Territory should be
opened to settlement as speedily
as possibly that lands should be
allotted in seyeralty to the Indians
and the surplus sold to actual set
tiers, to the end that civilization
and progress may prevail there as
elsewhere in our country that this
region shall cease to be a hot bed
Of crime and a refuge and sanctua-
ry for outlaws and criminals Of all
classes, and that thousands now
landless may there make them
selves happy homes" The only
question in sight or mind is the
Indians land and how TO dispos-
sess him Of il, apparently.

SUPREME COURT PROCEED.
INQS.

Atthe time designated by law,
the supreme court met at Table
quah. A full bench was present.
The cases that required immedi-
ate trial were contests of election
for district officers. All others
we're continued until the meeting
Of council. The contests were for
the Office of district sheriff lin
Tahlequah, Goingsnake and Della
ware districts. That OF Tahlequah
was dismissed by the court on ac-
count Of the informaliiy Of the
papers Of Delaware, because no.
tifcation Of contest was not served
in time. Only one case went
through the form Of a trial, and
received a court decision on its
merits, and that was the contest
for the Office Of sheriff for Going
snake district. The case has
some interesting features, and the
grounds upon which the court do.

cidcd in favor Of the contestant
may be questioned, if the contra
diction OF witnesses should be adj
judged in favor Of that witness
who had the best opportunity to
know the facts involved. 1t was
alleged and proven, in manner,
that many voted by ballot and not
uira voce, SIS required by law.
This was contradicted by one of
the clerks, and another witness,
who swore that the ballots when
presented were read to the persons
presenting them, and that each
one so voting audibly signifed the
candidate he wished to vote for.
There is little osno difference be-
tween this manner.of voting, from
the reading of the entire list of
candidates to the voter, SO that he
may signify his choice by grunt
or other signs that may be receiv-
ed as a living voice. Another
reason assigned for declaring the
election vitiared at that precinct,
was because one the Supervisors
registered some of the votes. The
fact that this change of duty be-
came necessary reflects no credit
on that officer who appointed an
old man who could not see how to
record the votes, and another who
could not write at all, as the case
seems to prove Everything con-
sidered, it does not appear in evil
dence that there was any alleged
fraud. The choice Of the people
Of Goingsnake in the selection Of
sheriff, was, if we omit the contra
dictory testimony as to the man
ner some of the votes were cast,
the rather flimsy one, that one
sworn officer Of the election per-
formed, in part, the duty Of anoth-
er. They declared the election
void at that precinct.
The law that numerates the
cases why an election may be de-
clared void, wholly or in part,
specifies no such cause as tn at
used by the court in this case.
Votes illegally cast and recorded
may have been objected to, but
when it comes to vitiating a whole
precinct election because of n few
votes so cast, the justness of their
decision may well be questioned.
The court may have had reasons
more legal than those quoted, for
what they have done. If so, the
public would like to know them.

THE individualizing of lands
among the almost extinct tribes in
the northeast corner of our terri
tory is rather too near to be agreea-
bic. This, with the introduction
of white settlers upon the surplus,
means a white government like
wise, and all alike citizens of the
United States. II is significant OF
a beginning, if nothing more, in
the immediate future, and reaches
out its arms for the rest of us and
as everything must have a begin
ming, be it as small as it may, the
result may be a spark that kim
dies to a fame and sweeps our
prairies.

As REPORTED, the executives ex-
cuse for not callinga special elec-
tion to decide a tie in Coowees-
coowee district until he was prod
ded into it, was that one of the
candidates wrote him n letter
claiming he was elected. This
letter it appeirs received con-
sideration above Clerk Carey's
certificate Of a tie, which can only
be accounted for on the hypothe-
sis that the securing of a seat in
council was of more importance
than the performance of statuto-
ry requirement.

tions, elevated standard of educa-
ton, Vanderbilt connections, the

additional buildings fitted up in
1884, and has compelled DR.. Price
